Or perhaps it's them coming home at dawn... the dudes t-shirt is ripped in the right area..

Yep.. definitely class 2.. think between about 10 - 12 quid a month.. also paid for a couple of missing years to get me to the 37 years.. but the difference it made to my pension forecast from the .gov.uk website was huge...when I get to 67 I will get the max amount (what ever it is then).. if you can do it, if you can find a way do it 100%.. the money you will pay out will be peanuts compared to what you get back from your pension if you live a good few years from your pension age...

Like I said not 100% sure of procedure.. but as I did it all by direct debit from Lloyds bank account registered to UK address you may be right ...when you mentioned form CF83 it did not ring any bells with me... so yep.. I probably didn't tell them...

It can be done I did it for about 9 years while I was over here...it was easy to set up.. direct debit from UK bank... I have forgotten the actual procedure.. but I do remember it was quite painless, I am not sure I told them I was out of the country.. (I did it from UK bank registered with a UK address)... 100% recommend it so you get your full state pension.. if I remember any more details I will post them... hope this helps

Yep... he suffers from frequent faecal leakage of the gob....

But it's ok and honourable to kick a semi conscious person half to death...scumbag bouncers..

Story is on another news site..(big yellow banner and they also have a forum).. don't think there is video on there.. but it was shown on the news earlier... 'bang to rights' i think is the phrase to describe the video

Is there a link for 'they were running a scam'...... where did you get that information from.?

Did it show video of incident or just that it happened...?

If this is aimed at me ... then no... did it all on my phone...

Just registered mine with DTAC.. had same number for 20 odd years (I know we don't have to do it yet.. but I am off to the UK for a bit, and sods law says this change will be implemented while I am there).... Dtac.. phone call centre get put through to an English speaker.. confirm name and number they send you an SMS with a link to register... on this link step by step instructions with pictures on procedure... pretty straight forward... but I would suggest doing it with someone who can read thai, as captions and some information fields are only in thai....

Cheers Mike.. Many thanks for the time and trouble you have spent creating these guides... sure they have helped many folks....

Good Day.. Just a quickie.... would winnings from premium bonds be assessable, they were all bought many moons ago (easily proven) with money I earned and payed tax on (UK). Apologies if this has already been covered... Cheers.. Martin71..

Fair point.. well put..

I really hope your not at Starbucks...

Did you even read my post... I said it was over the top ...meaning the guards should not have done that.....

After reading your reply...I'm glad you don't post much... ps.. I agree with keeps post...

And at 43 seconds you can see a chick who shouldn't be wearing that..

Just a tad/smidgen ...

The two blokes may have deserved a bit of a shoeing for not paying and busting a girls nose... but the security guards taking run up's and giving penalty kicks to the head when the blokes are virtually unconscious on the floor is a bit over the top...

Don't beat around the bush... say what you mean...

What is wrong with you....?

Is this some sort of wind -up... WTF...will they all boil to death under the weight of all that make up and sequins.....

At last.. a well written intelligent and concise factual post... very refreshing... there are quite a few other posters on AN that could learn a thing or two....

Firstly many thanks for all those with useful replies.. much appreciated.. A few people had a few questions so I will try and answer them... I live out in the cuds/boonies/sticks in Nakhorn Ratchasima and from start to finish entering the ampour to leaving with book and id about an hour and a half... The paperwork I used was slightly unorthodox.. for proof of address I used a driving licence and a tm 28 (believe it not I don't care)...but as a disclaimer the ampour is very small and never busy and they don't mind a bit of missing paperwork... Will it change my life.. no.. has having the id and yellow book saved me a 3000 baht 5 hour round trip to Korat for a certificate of residence to renew my driving licences from this day on ...yes.. Has my wife who works 2 days a week in the Changwat clinic and 3 days a week in the government hospital admin dept managed to get me on the books at the hospital, so if I have a problem I will only be charged the same as someone who has been paying social security... yes.. So it won't change my life but in the day and a half I have had it, it has been bloody useful....
